• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Sikorsky's S-97 Raider (Taken from Sikorsky's website)
On May 22, 2015, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. announced the successful first flight of the S-97 RAIDER™
helicopter. Based on the X2 Technology™ demonstrator coaxial rotor design, the RAIDER™ helicopter is capable of being developed into a unique multi-mission configuration that is able to carry six troops and
external weapons. The coaxial counter-rotating main rotors and pusher propeller are expected to provide
cruise speeds up to 240 knots (276 mph). http://raider.sikorsky.com/raider-first-flight.asp

 
Been There Done That

S-97 Raider shown in FSX Accel video, 15Aug16. Model by David Allen (for FS9 - so the props are 'bad' in FSX).
Video & FDEs (which I did not 'finish' yet and could be MUCH better) is by me ('Napamule').
